FRIGHTFUL CATTLE LOSSES.

Nelson Story came in from his cattle
range where he has been since the 2sth
of January working hard trying to save
his cattle, on Saturday and informed us
that his losses will aggregate in the sum
of 100000. Out of l4,OO0 head he ex-
poets to save only about 5000. The loss
is caused more by lack Of feed on the
range than the severity of the weather.
Some of the Musselshel cattle drivin to
this range late in the fall have suffered
severely, while those driven to the east
of Clark's Fork have done extremely
well, and will come out with loss of
from five the ten per cent Mr.. Story
says that the entire lower country stock
have suffered severely and in the spring
will foot up loss of from 80 to rs per cent.

company to light the streets of Bozeman,
make the following report: l find,
after careful consideration Of the pro-
position of the Electric Light company
and consultation with the taxpayers
that it is more money than we
ought to expend at the present time
Therefore, would recommend that the
city council expend no money for the
purpose of lighting said streets, but they
may cause an ordinance to be drafted, to
appropriate money for the purpose Of
lighting said streets, and submit it to the
taxpayers at the coming election to be
voted upon. D. ANDERSON.

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE
Gardiner, Feb. 28th, 1887.

Gardiner. Feb, 2Sth, 1887,
EDITOR CHRONICLE
The county is divided and Livingston
has gained the height of her ambition;
but what will become OF those outside of
Livingston in the new Park county2
The Courier has given US a very dry ex-
cuse for the action of the legislature
and, to make it stick, it gives us the
opinion of leading business men in
Bozeman in regard to the division. It
must be admitted that Livingston was a
very troublesome neighbor to Bozeman,
but if they were in favor of county livis-
ion in Bozeman, was it not reasonable to
consult some other citizens outside Of
Livingston, Every officer appointed by
the legislature is Livingston man. We
don't believe that anybody in this part
of the county wants an office; the fact is,
that our tax-paying population was
against county division, and Livingston
was well aware of it, but If they want
the county divided, was 1t not reason.
able to make it law that the officers
were to be elected by the people of the
new county?
The Enterprise gives us an explana.
ton for it. 1t says: "All of the various
officers have been selected, thus avoid.
ing the objection Of a general scramble

The True King.

Some weeks ago we spoke editorially
of the cowardly means employed by
anonymous correspondents who mask
under nom de plume or an alias. The
Gazette of Billings has also deemed the
matter worthy of editorial comment and
has the following to say about the per-
nicious attack of those too cowardly to
write above their own names
There are few in every community,
who So ignorantly misconceive and under
value the mission and province OF the
newspaper, as to attempt to employ Its
columns as medium through which to
proclaim their private grieviences and
conduct their petty personal dissensions.
Under the convenient and cowardly
mask of the nom de plume, they seek to
assail some one ofthe fellow citizens who
may have given them real or imaginary
case for offense, and like the secret as
sassin who deals his bastard blow from
behind, under the protecting shadows Of
night, strike without fear Of retaliation
The man who is guilty Of such an at
tack is a poltroon, and the newspaper
which lends itself to such purpose be-
Titles itself in the eyes ofthe public and
fatally weakens its influence.
The sphere of the Journal is upon fai
higher plane, it is the popular educator
and its purpose is not to foster private
contention and discord, and perpetuate
individual amino ,ities, but, second tc
the duty it owes in properly gathering
and presenting the news, to voice and
reflect so far as possible, the best public
sentiment upon matters of general in
terest.
The newspaper is a powerful engine
for good or evil, and injury it may some
times do is incalculable. Let him wht
has cause to to defend, walk into thu
free light of day and there vindicate
himself if he can; but not hide himsel
behind printers shooting stick.
